#finsup – The boys are back, and we’re proud to have their backs!

This Sunday sees the first match of the Tasman Makos 2016 Mitre 10 Cup draw, at Lansdowne Park in Blenheim when our boys take on Waikato.

We’ll be there to spur the fellas on, and we’re proud to continue as a brand sponsor of the Tasman Rugby Union, you’ll see our Johnston Associates South logo sits proudly on the back of the jersey.

There have been some changes during the off season. Head coach Kieran Keane has been replaced by Leon MacDonald, who’s made his mark as assistant coach since 2010. There have been some player departures too, but the squad still boasts a host of seasoned Makos who are ready to begin their national provincial championship premiership campaign.

Here at Johnston Associates South Chartered Accountants we’ve often likened business success to sporting success, and it comes as no surprise that preparation for a premiership campaign is similar to the preparation you need to do to grow your business and take it to the next level.
